Libaud, Fraser win eighth straight match in doubles play to pace Louisiana
LAFAYETTE – Arthur Libaud earned a 6-1, 6-4 win at No. 2 singles and teamed with Jamie Fraser for their ninth straight win in doubles play, but Texas A&M-Corpus Christi captured a hard-fought doubles point and took three singles matches to claim a 4-1 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's tennis team on Friday at Cajun Courts.
Carlos Pedrosa and William Mottet earned victories in singles play to help clinch the win for A&M-CC (5-3). Louisiana, which was playing its final match in a 10-match homestand, fell to 9-4 on the season.
Libaud and Fraser, who improved to 9-1 in doubles play, evened competition at No. 2 earning a 6-3 win over Paul Cook and Cagatay Soke. The Islanders then clinched the doubles point as Kevin Bettendroffer and William Mottet earned a 7-6 win over Coleman Wahlborg and Eric Perez at No. 1.
In singles play, Fraser and Elio Lago each dropped their opening sets before forcing a third set for Louisiana at No. 3 and No. 6.
Louisiana will return to action on Tuesday when it travels to face UT Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, Texas. The Ragin' Cajuns will then head up the Texas Gulf Coast to compete in the annual H-E-B Tournament of Champions, hosted by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
